But he’ll need approval from the Republican-led Legislature and they haven’t always cooperated with his proposals. Scott in 2010 promised deep property tax cuts and a substantial phaseout of the state’s corporate income tax. Neither has happened.

Scott wants to revive his proposed phaseout of the state’s corporate income tax in an effort to make the state more competitive.

Scott is facing former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, who is seeking his old job as a Democrat.

The property tax proposal was immediately criticized by Pasco County Tax Collector Mike Fasano, a former Republican lawmaker whom Scott appointed to the position last year. Fasano was elected unopposed this year.

Fasano said the idea would have very little effect on primary homeowners, who already have protections against rising property taxes through a cap placed on valuations under a constitutional amendment Crist fought for and voters passed in 2008.

He said he doesn’t think Scott has thought through the consequences the mandate would have on counties and is concerned that it could affect law enforcement and other services counties provide.

He’s also concerned the proposal would also apply to commercial properties and vacation homes.
